So, as I understand:
- By default enter would insert a <br> (as in <br> mode)
- However, when selection is right after already existing <br> (so we are pressing enter twice), then a new paragraph would be created and the existing <br> would be removed.
This would be slightly similar to how enter works when editing a markdown file. Single new line actually does nothing, but two new lines create a new paragraph.
However, I don't know any editor which works this way and we definitely don't want the default behaviour of enter key be to insert a <br>. In most cases when user presses enter key (s)he wants to create a new paragraph. Line breaks make sense in limited number of cases and therefore there are the secondary option.
I confirm this ticket because it is a valid feature request, but we are not planning to work on this.
